Test Cell Design

Saenz develop complete engineering projects for dynamometer installation, including detailed studies of each technical aspect for each specific need and according to the particular requirements of each user and site. This way we ensure an efficient solution that guarantees optimal performance of the equipment and the test room.

Dynamometer installation requires an interdisciplinary analysis between different engineering branches. Therefore, calculations and studies of the various elements involved in the entire system must be performed for the proper functioning of the installation.

All dynamometers include installation instructions with specifications and recommendations for the various technical aspects required for installation. However, many dynamometer requirements need the facility to be capable to handle high steady power during long tests, so installations become more complex and require greater knowledge and experience. This is why we offer to carry out the complete installation project, including all engineering calculations and a detailed study of each technical aspect for each specific case. This way, we provide a complete solution to set the dynamometer room, ensuring a customized efficient solution.

As the projects requires, Saenz offer to schedule technical visits before, during and after all installation process in order to follow-up with the customers regarding their needs.
